Okay get this... I got up this morning, grabbed my coffee and jumped back under my blanket (hello, it's winter in South Africa...)
Just to add, today is "obviously" a public holiday and the television is the next best thing on a early Friday morning. Watched some Pierce Morgan (this man pushes all my wrong buttons) with Sharon and Kelly Osbourne - followed by... the CNN 30 minute update on the Royal Wedding! Awesome!
So this morning on CNN the topic of discussion were the carriages and the Royal procession for this major event. An uncle (can't recall his name) gave us an inside look of the carriage which Prince William and Kate Middleton will leave Westminster Abbey for the big wedding bash.
Okay, to get to the point. The uncle showed us the little fold-out steps of the carriage - and with that, he also mentioned that Kate will most probably practice prior to the wedding to get in and out of the carriage... seeing that she will be wearing a dress with a LONG TRAIN.
Did this insider say too much or just an assumption.
Only time will tell, I guess...

There are rumours circulating the internet concerning the designer of Kate Middleton’s wedding dress… We have seen the designs by all major fashion houses and let’s be honest – we can’t see Kate in any of them.
Speculation has it that the “favourite” at this point in time is British designer, Bruce Oldfield who designed dressed for A-listers such as Kate Winslet, Diana Ross, Sienna Miller, Queen Rania just to name a few.
Poor Kate…must be a lot of pressure with the world waiting to scrutinizing every single pearl and diamond. However, if that’s what it takes to become a princess – then do it!
Here are one of our favourite designs for Kate Middleton by british fashion designers, Ralph and Russo – to die!
Gorgeous! Even we would wear this....
Queen Elizabeth II is under fire after wearing a Russian-styled fur hat on Christmas day. According to reports is seems that the hat was made out of different kinds of foxes – however we should also add that according to numerous online reports, the Queens spokesperson could not confirm whether is was real or fake.
Further online also reported, a PETA spokesperson said “We hope that the queen will choose to wear something more humane in future, that better reflects the values of the British people”
Wearing fur is fugly…but maybe the Queen was really cold and it was just a judgement mistake?
Who would know – she is the Queen after all.

We're totally smitten with this couple and holy mother, look at the gorgeous bride-to-be Kate Middleton!
...so adorable!
Prince William and Kate Middleton made their first public appearance last night since their engagement and my word, they look as happy as can be! The couple attended a charity event to raise funds in order to fund a cancer unit at a Cambridge hospital.
As mentioned previously, the couple will wed next year April at Westminster Abbey.
We would make a pretty bridesmaid...just a thought?

It’s confirmed and we can’t be more excited… Prince William of England
Future King and Queen of England...
This is surely one of the biggest events to take place next year and Kate Middleton will surely be a beautiful bride. According to reports, the royal couple has decided to get married at the Westminster Abbey and however the wedding date is in the same month as his father’s second marriage to the Duchess of Cornwall, the couple has decided on different churches.
It is also rumoured that Prince William and Kate Middleton are in complete control in organising their dream wedding and it seems that they’re going for a classic British theme. According to the You Magazine, here are some of the assumed prospects concerning the royal wedding…
- The wedding rings: According to royal tradition it must be made from gold that has been mined from northwest
Wales - Wedding Dress: She loves Brazilian designer Issa Helayel and might even consider using the renowned designer, however according to tradition it’s usually from a British Fashion House.
- Hairstyle: Most probably taken up in a low chignon to showcase her jewellery
- Bouquet: It will either be freshly picked from the gardens of Highgrove, the residence of Prince Charles or by celebrity florist, Rob van Helden. Kate’s favourite flower is a white lily.
- Wedding Cake: Kate’s brother is a baker and will most probably get the job of baking a traditional British Fruit Cake.
- Guests: Rumoured around 2000 guests and among them Kings,
Queens , Presidents, Premiers etc. It seems that some of the famous faces will also include President Barack Obama and wife, Michelle, Elton John as well as Beyoncé and Jay-Z. - Title: Kate will most probably be known as “Princess Catherine” (her full name is Catherine Elizabeth)
We read that Kate’s mother is over the moon about the wedding and although she has made a fool of herself on numerous occasions in front of the royals, we’re sure they’re nice people just like their gorgeous daughter.
Okay, the countdown has started – we’re still keeping our fingers (and toes) crossed for an invite…
